Game Developer’s Choice Awards Nominations Now Open

Game Developer’s Choice Awards Nominations Now Open

In the wake of all this talk about the atrocity that was Spike’s “new and improved” VGX, I choose to remind you, as I do every year, that the best and “most dignified” gaming award ceremony that anyone should really be paying attention are Game Developer’s Choice Awards. Every year, categories and winners make tons of sense and don’t feel like bizarre cash-ins or Doritio’s shout-outs. It’s the people making the games who decide what’s worthy of praise. And now, the nominations for the 2014 awards are now open through January 4th.

Voting on nominees will begin on Februrary 19th of next year and will be open to the public.

The categories open for nominations are as follows:

(Regular Awards) • Best Audio • Best Debut Game • Best Downloadable Game • Best Handheld/Mobile Game • Best Game Design • Best Narrative • Best Technology • Best Visual Arts • Innovation Award • Game of the Year • Audience Award (Voting to open on February 19, 2014)
